Brown and White Online

On February 18, my senior project begins. This is what Carl Beehler, my sponsor, wrote to Steve Compton. Honestly, I am excited that I get to utilize some of the knowledge I have acquired in Computer Science class, and this will probably give me a sense of whether I want to work in the field of programming as my future career.

Description: Implement online publishing platform for Brown and White

Sponsor: Carl Beehler/Tech Office

Outline:

Phase 1 (Dec-Jan):

Take self-study course “An introduction to open source” (provided by Tech Office)

Much of the above is self-study and/or self guided. Assistance will be provided as needed by Carl or his staff if questions arise.

Some of the resources required to do such a project are relatively complicated and can’t be completely learned in the time available. This will lead to a slight disconnect between the conceptual and practical parts of this project.

Resources such as the web server will be preconfigured for use in the project with an eye towards having the project approved as a production service on campus.
